Products in Polarization
S-waveplate is a super-structured waveplate which converts incident linear polarization to radial or azimuthal polarization.
Optically contacted polarizing beamsplitter cubes are optimized for superior performance in high power applications.
Epoxy free waveplates for high energy applications withstand energy density up to >20 J/cm2 @ 1064 nm for 10 ns pulses with 10 Hz pulse repetition rate
Waveplates manipulate light polarization via retardation in birefringent crystals. The waveplate’s thickness and configuration determines retardation. Various configurations exist, including single plate, optically contacted or air-spaced options. Air-spaced achromatic waveplates provide retardation across broad wavelength range. Waveplates available from stock.
Polarizers are mainly used to clean polarization or in combination with a waveplate to act as a power attenuator. The typical extinction ratio of polarizers (cubes) designed for narrow wavelength range is >500:1, and >1000:1 ratio could be reached for thin film polarizers (TFP). Polarizers available from stock.
